Celebrating Ten Years since Falun Gong’s introduction to Sweden (1)

On the 16th of April 2005, Falun Gong practitioners from in and around Gothenburg gathered at the busy Baltesspannar Park in brilliant sunshine. They demonstrated the five sets of Falun Gong exercises, distributed leaflets and presented the public with paper lotus flowers to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Falun Gong’s introduction to Sweden.

On the same day ten years ago, Falun Gong’s founder Master Li Hongzhi personally visited Gothenburg and held a seven-day class. Today, ten years later, Falun Gong’s exercises sites have increased from one in 1995 to forty, from one city to all over the country. The number of people who practise Falun Gong has risen to several thousand.

The banner “Celebrating the Tenth Anniversary of Falun Dafa in Sweden” was especially dazzling to the eye under the bright sunlight and the spring breeze. A lot of people couldn’t refrain from saying it out loud.

Passers-by were attracted to the joyful and peaceful energy field and stopped one by one to watch and ask for more information. Children who received a lotus flower had satisfied smiles on their faces. The practitioners were glad that others could join them in celebrating this significant and special day.
